Read Ahead would not be possible without the generous support of a community of thousands of families and individuals who believe in the power of reading and mentoring to positively impact young people’s lives.

Read Ahead helps New York City youth build the literacy skills, love of reading, and confidence they need to thrive in school and beyond. We partner with under-resourced public elementary schools, families, leading corporations, and caring volunteers to foster a love of learning in young readers through our weekly reading-based mentoring program.

None of this would be possible without you. Thank you for making a difference, and for sharing a page with us! You may donate online below, click here to make a contribution via donor-advised fund, or contact us to make a donation via check or stock transfer.
